Evidence of associations between bipolar disorder and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene.

Bipolar disorders - 1 Jan 2000

Sears Catherine, Markie David, Olds Robin, Fitches Alison

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has important roles in neural cell growth and differentiation. Despite multiple lines of evidence suggesting BDNF as a possible contributor to the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder (BD), the results of genetic association studies have been mixed....
